Israel is preparing for a renewed military campaign against Hamas in Gaza if the organization refuses to disarm, alongside advancing a US-led project in Rafah referred to as the 'green city', according to a single security source cited by The Zioneer. The report updates a similar assessment published earlier Wednesday morning.
A single security source cited by The Zioneer reports that Israel is preparing for a new campaign against Hamas in Gaza if the organization refuses to disarm, alongside preparations for a US-led project in Rafah referred to as the 'green city'. The military now controls about 70% of the Gaza Strip and expects to expand that area in the coming months, according to earlier reporting by The Zioneer (Wednesday 06:27 Jerusalem). The report updates a similar assessment published earlier Wednesday morning, which noted that the military expects to expand its territorial hold. The 'green city' project in Rafah, described as a US-led initiative, remains in the planning stages. The source did not provide a timeline for either the potential campaign or the Rafah project. The assessment is based on a single source and has not been independently corroborated.
